whatever that means. a private let
ter, received yesterday gives the fol
lowing description of she peculiar
event! The idol, Tan Wang was
imported directly from China, espec-
tally for the occasion upon which it
was used and the parade of oriental
magnifieence, but was confined to
streets and alleys in Chinatown Ia
suburb Of San Francisco). The cos
TUNES, banners and oriental weapons,
an incident of the parade were also
brought from China. There Were
one thousand Cinnamon in line and
numerous Chinese women on richly
caparisoned horses.
The entire column presented a
blaze OF color. The women wore
long silken gowns and at their side
walked attendants holding high over
their heads banners of gold. The
men in procession carried antique
war implements. long gilt maces,
deliberately carved swords or spears,
around whose points were coiled gilt
lizards, snakes and flaming dragons.
n number of tall banners that sprang
twenty feet in the air preceded
another heavily armed battalion at
tired in the brightest yellow and car
rying weapons, no two of which
were alike Immediately preceding
the mighty JOSS Tan Wong was a
band of musicians sounding huge
gongs and kettle-drums, whilea body
of cdnnoniers kept up a constant fusil-
ada of fire-crackers. Twelve wor-
shippers, clad in light yellow, carried
Tan Wong, who sat in hugh chair.
About him and behind him trod at
tendant priests in long black satin
robes that swept the ground. They
were accompanied by bearers whose
censeT5 were hung from the ends of
long red poles. Following Tan Wong
was a dragon, one hundred and sew
enty-five feet long and described as
the most gorgeous ever seen in Amer
lea. He was supported by sixty
worshipers. This monster opened
its mouth, writhed its body and by
appliances known only to the Chi
neSe, kept up general outward ap-
pn5ran e of being / o iseSsed Of life,

The wool supply.

Wednesday closed the great London
wool sales commencing on June :. Pc
yiOus TO the opening OF these sales it was
expected that the prices would be so low
and the offerings 90 heavy as to exert a
very depressing effect on tn wool mar
ket Of America. But from the first to the
last day of these sales the market eXhi1-
tied great strength. The offerings were
less than anticipated, sDd the prices OBJ
tanned were several cents above our eX-
pectetions.
The entire purchases by Americans
we're insigniHCant-Ouly s few millions.
Previous importati0ns for the season have
been more than 10000 600 pounds less
tnsn last year
1t is known that Philadelphia has q
very light stock Of domestic wool aud the
same is substantially true of Boston
New York, Chicago, st. Louis and Ia
deed of every wool market and wool pro-
ducing county and state In America.
The clip of 1887 will prove the least
clip for several years. The Chicago
wheat corner is a thing Of the past. The
little Wsll Street furry is over. Most
eXcellsnt crops aTG assured. The general
prosperity that now exists gives sssur-
auce for a large demand for wooIen
goods. The hand to mouth purchase Of
wool by manufacturers up to date will
not supply this demand for goods.
LeGCe we are assured that the msnu-
taCturers will be exceedingly interested
snd active buyers of wool for two or three
months TO come, and prices cannot in the
meantime go lower; but only little

DISASTROUS TO COWMEN.
SeDty Thousand Head of Texas
Cattle on the Trail Turned
Back Into Texas.

q ust Go Out of Business, or
Start Refrig.rators.
a low TO the Cattle Business

DENv;s Col, July 2l.-Cattlemen
who nov have herds going north on the
great CO ,'le trail have decided upon q
move which will force shout $4,000 head
now on the trail to be driven back into
Texas. TIE reasons for so doing is be-
cause there is absolutely no market for
cattle in the north. The meeting at
which this decision was arrived st was
held Tuesday night in the rooms Of
tie Cattle Growers Association.
Among the csttemen present were
M'ssrs. II. c, Lsrdy, of Del Rio, Texas,
AMI SCENTS representing the Simpson
Cattle Company of Texas. OF the cattle
now on the trail 20 600 head have already
entered Wyoming, and $4,000 are re
ported in the vicinity of the Arkansas
river. Yesterday cattls mea went TO
Hugo, Col TO meet the superintendent
captains OF the drive to give them orders
for the return drive. Tais action
practically removes from existence
forever the long used cattle trail
for the transportation OF cstLIe. The
cause Of the trouble Is principally in the
exaggerated nature of the information
threatening the stock market. /. was
thought tina. the hard winter had made
cattle scarce in Wyoming, MOntsna aud
Dakota, and it was not Iearnt d that
Wyoming wanted no cattleswhat-oever
until after the herds were start
ed. For fourteen years cattlemen
have used the trail to the northern mar
kets without q seasons interruption ana
mauy million dollars worth of cattle have
passed over it, Last year 100000 cattle
We're driven over the trail. This year but
20, 0o) have been started and two-thirds
OF these are now turned b OK
Theodore Ives OF For Worth declares
that the disastrous result of the flilure TO
ct the cattle TO market will have the
effect OF putting s.. 600, 600 worth OF beef
back into Texas which is already over
stocked thus driving prices down to
TuinOus figure. 1t may cause a number
of failures. Captain Cutler thought there
would be no more shipments Of
cattle by trail. Texas will have
TO consume her own cattle
In other words the COwmcn will have 10
es ,sblish packing houses to do their own
killing and make their own shipments
The setting up of the western country is
what played the mischief with the raising
OF cattle in large herds The trail has
gradually been growing narrower until
last year it was but three miles wide, and
now this hiss Deen thrown open TO settle
